The techniques focus on releasing brain-centered restrictions as well as the damaging effects that these restrictions cause. These methods use a slightly different paradigm by working extensively with the brain parenchyma, grey and white matter, cranial and spinal nerves and vascular structures rather than mainly on cranial bones and membranes as might be found in cranio-sacral therapy.

The body often aligns itself around these precise structures and they are frequently unaddressed, key/primary tissue restrictions.This work requires perceptual skills to address tissue microstructures, which can be some of the most important and yet least often addressed component of somatic dysfunctions.

For that reason, Brain Therapy can probably help almost anyone, but it will specifically help any brain and spinal related pathologies including those listed above as well as conditions like post-meningitis syndrome, dementia, post-polio syndromes, birth difficulties or trauma, feeding difficulties, etc.

Brain therapy is a highly advanced and highly in-depth set of skills that takes us into a deeper appreciation of the function of the body in relation to specific neurological structures or structures and fluids associated with the neurological system, including:

The brain (cerebrum) itself

The spinal cord

The spinal column

The white matter

The grey matter

Brain nuclei

Cranial nerves

The brain stem

The limbic system

The cerebellum

The connecting pathways of the brain

The Reticular Alarm System

The ventricles and fluid flow throughout the brain

Special sensory systems to do with sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch

The membranous system around and within the brain

The vestibular system (balance and equilibrium systems)

The Autonomic Nervous System (ANS)

The heart

Dental elements

As in the body, the brain can align itself around key restrictions/precise structures if they become dysfunctional. They are very frequently unaddressed. These techniques used can help most types of pathology, but specifically:

Closed head injuries

Whiplash

Headaches

Dyslexia

CP

Cognitive dysfunction

Behavioural dysfunction

Emotional conditions

ADD/ADHD

Parkinson’s disease

Alzheimer’s disease

Birth difficulties

Eye problems

Lyme’s disease

Hydrocephalus

Autism

Asperger’s

Speech issues

Most treatment techniques are very light and involve working with perceptual and manual skills to connect with the microstructures of the brain.
